Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

After praising (God) and offering salutations (to the Prophet and his pure progeny (`a)), it is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Aqa Shaykh `Ali Akbar Islami, may his graces last, who has been considered trustworthy and reliable, has been granted my permission to collect every fund that the faithful, may Allah grant them success, want to remit to this humble servant. This includes the blessed Share of the Imam (`a), the Share of the noble Sadat as well as other funds. He is also permitted to have funds change hands and allow grace periods as deemed necessary, and to collect the same. Those who have funds change hands, through the undersigned or my representatives are authorized to repay their debts to the former to be spent for the blessed religious seminary. His Eminence is also authorized to spend the aforementioned funds for the religious seminary and for the stipends of seminary students in the same manner as prescribed.

" And I advise him, may God, the Exalted, assist him, as we have been advised by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be meticulous in his worldly and afterworld affairs. I hope that he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren.
